A political scientist suspects that responses to polls and surveys may be affected by the gender and/or race of the interviewer. To test this conjecture, the researcher surveyed 1200 men, asking them whether they agree with the statement: "Abortion is a private matter that should be left to the woman to decide without government intervention" The survey was designed so that 800 of the responses were obtained with a male interviewer, and 400 of the responses from a female interviewer. The table below shows the frequency counts for each response: Gender of Interviewer Man Woman Men who agree: 560 308 Men who disagree: 240 92 The researcher used this sample data and a .05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of agree/disagree responses are the same for subjects interviewed by men and subjects interviewed by women. What can he conclude?

A political scientist suspects that responses to polls and surveys may be affected by the
gender and/or race of the interviewer. To test this conjecture, the researcher surveyed 1200
men, asking them whether they agree with the statement:
"Abortion is a private matter that should be left to the woman to decide without
government intervention"
The survey was designed so that 800 of the responses were obtained with a male interviewer,
and 400 of the responses from a female interviewer. The table below shows the frequency
counts for each response:
Gender of Interviewer
Man
Woman
Men who agree:
560
308
Men who disagree:
240
92
The researcher used this sample data and a .05 significance level to test the claim that the
proportion of agree/disagree responses are the same for subjects interviewed by men and
subjects interviewed by women.
What can he conclude?
